We have a local municipal government that has enacted a seizure/forfeiture law for DUI's. The law states if you are picked up for a DUI they are going to take your vehicle and sell it.
No not after you go to court and found guilty.......
They are even in violation of New Mexico's new state law that stops what is the subject of this thread. I am waiting for them to try to take a car and sell it. It should be a good show.
Even the sheriffs department is not happy with the situation. Impounding is one thing but selling it before you are found guilty is a pretty long stretch.
Granted you are more likely to be killed by a drunk here than any where else I have ever lived but selling your property is pretty extreme without your day in court.
